Congratulations 2013 Tempe South Champions

Congratulations to coach Jonathan Bodow and his 2013 Majors Champion Mariners. The Mariners defeated the top seeded Yankees in back to back games. It was a thrilling double header and both coaches and parents should be proud of all the participants as it was a clean, hard fought game on both sides.

Congratulations to John Bistany and his 2013 Minors Champion White Sox. The White Sox won a close and thrilling game against the stalwart Nationals. It was another quality match up and both coaches and players exemplified the best in youth sports competition by competing with composure and compassion.

Congratulations to all the 2013 Finalists.

Treasurer Volunteer!

Eric Olson has stepped forward to volunteer as Treasurer. Treasurer is an elected position, so Eric will serve as interim Treasurer selected by the President until he is formally voted into office.

So you want to keep playing baseball

Posted on May 9, 2013 (Thu) by scott

Little league is coming to an end and there are many players who are interested in continuing to play but they don’t know where to go next. At the present time Tempe South Little League does not have the facilities to offer year round baseball. With our renewed partnership with the City there maybe fall and winter baseball in our future, but for the fall of 2013 here are the options I know of:

1. Summer Camps at Arizona World of Baseball
2. Club Baseball
3. Chandler Youth Baseball (Pony Baseball)
4. East Valley Baseball
5. NYS

I will walk through each opportunity and share a bit of what I know.  Click below to keep reading.

Even the Pros Get It Wrong Occassionally

Posted on Apr 10, 2013 (Wed) by scott


The one caution I would make here is using a professional manager as a role model here. In little league it is never okay to come out of the dug out the way the Tampa Bay Manager does. Yes this is a horrible call, but remember, these umps are the best umps baseball can find and even they will make a bad call. So we shouldn’t be so hard on our local guys, and especially the kids.

Because guess what changed after Joe Madden had his temper tantrum?

Absolutely nothing.

The call stands.

Save yourself the heart burn and instead of focusing on the bad call, be grateful for every good call that is made. Because even the best get it wrong every now and then.

Earl Weaver said, “If you took away errors and umpires no one would watch the game.”
